An experimental, loosely structured novel with some fantastic passages–especially while describing prewar Alexandria–but by and large a wildly overrated snorefest.

Beautifully written. The story went over my head. Waiting to read the rest of the series to connect the dots.

I'm holding out until I finish the Quartet, but my feeling so far is that this is a very silly book that happens to be written tolerably well.
sarihelikopter's review against another edition
neden çok sevildiğini çok iyi anladım okurken, ama melankolisi bana fazla. çok male-gaze (döneme göre anlaşılır ama rahatsız ediyo napıyim), çoğunlukla iskenderiyelilere karşı üstenci. bir süre sonra sık sık "ay öf ama" derken buldum kendimi. serinin diğer kitaplarına şans vereceğim ama biraz zaman geçmesi lazım.
